We are in love with the incredibly talented and inspirational UK soul singer Sam Smith and Sam Smith is in love with the incredibly delicious and inspirational coffee beverage. WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON. If you’re unfamiliar with Sam Smith’s work, we encourage you to listen to this, read this, and watch this–AT THE SAME TIME.

Our planets aligned this morning when we read on Facebook that Todd Carmichael retweeted an Instagram from Sam Smith’s official IG account (@samsmithworld) from yesterday…a fabulous fanboy shot of the innards of La Colombe Fishtown in Philadelphia!

That’s TEN great coffee cities in the US and Canada. There are literally so many cafes for Sam Smith to choose from. He’s off to a fresh start with La Colombe…let’s keep him caffeinated! Where should he go next?

In New York City, Sam Smith should obviously go to Everyman Espresso, because the opportunity for Sam Smith to take an Instagram in a Sam Penix (owner) and Sam Lewontin (barista champion) triple Sam sandwich is like really high.
